Radio stopped working
My radio stopped working yesterday in the middle of Come Sail Away.
Yeah I know...
Its lit up and everything, but all you hear when you turn the volume **** is a static like whizzing noise. I tried cds but they didnt work either. But I never tried them when it was working so I don't know.
Any idea what might have caused this and what can fix it? Is it a fuse to the antenna or something like that?

Hmmm, that's interesting. My radio also stopped working today. I wasn't listening to anything as cool as Come Sail Away though. I just turned it on and... nothing. That's like the 2073rd part that has stopped working in the last two weeks. 
At least my tires still hold air. Oh crap, I better go check out the tires.

My radio actually started working again this morning. I never turned it off and apparently had turned the volume WAY up to see if maybe that was the problem. 
It came on all of a sudden this morning and scared the holy hell outta me. I was braking and had just turned on the left turn signal... I'm not sure if that even matters, but there it is.

However, I get a station display on the head unit briefly, then it reverts to the clock mode.
I believe the CDM/tuner module is the brain behind the whole setup, correct?

I don't care if it isnt original.
